University of Maryland Advanced General Dentistry

Dr. Barnes is compassionate, friendly, competent and the best dentist I have ever gone to...I highly recommend him. The only down side is you may not be able to get an appointment as his schedule fills up and he is scheduling 3 months out.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST DENTIST OFFICE BUSINESS WISE THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TOO!!!! THEY MADE ME WAIT OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF ON MY FIRST VISIT THEN CHARGED ME $50.00 FOR A CLEANING WHEN I HAVE NO DEDUCTABLE FOR MY INSURANCE. THEN, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO BUY A $600.00 APPLIANCE BECAUSE I GRING MY TEETH AT NIGHT, I BOUGHT ONE FOR LESS THAN $20.00 DOLLARS ON MY OWN THAT WORKS GREAT!!! THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A SPECIAL CLEANING FOR UNDER MY GUM LINE AND TOLD ME INSURANCE DIDN'T PAY FOR IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T DISCLOSE THE COST TO ME???? I HAVE NEVER FELT SO PUSHED TO BUY EXTRA'S AND THE ENTIRE EXPERIANCE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL FEAR IN A MEDICAL ENVIROMENT!!!!! I CALLED TODAY TO HAVE MY X-RAYS SENT TO MY NEW DENTIST BECAUSE THE X-RAYS THAT THEY DID ARE SO EXPENSIVE THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL ONLY PAY FOR THEM EVERY 5 YEARS, I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO GO TO THE OFFICE AND SIGN A RELEASE AND ALSO PAY THEM $25.00 FOR THEM TO BE E-MAILED!!!!! WTF??? THIS PLACE IS THE WORST AND WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM FOR ANY DENTAL SERVICE UNLESS YOU PLANN ON SPENDING A BUNCH OF MONEY!!!!!!

I just went to my routine 6 month dental cleaning and as always had the most pleasant visit at Dr. Veronica’s office. From the moment you walk in you are treated like family from the 2 women working the front desk. They are very kind and cheerful to be there and it shows. I had my cleaning with Cathy which is always a fantastic experience. Cathy is truly the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) when it comes to being a hygienist.I always enjoy talking with about dental hygiene and her as she cleans my teeth. Overall 100/10 experience at Dr Veronica’s office and unsurprisingly looking forward to my next Visit!
